The Dragon’s Idleness

Today = Rest Day. Yes, a day that every student wishes. It also goes for next Wednesday. Our teacher said he’ll not be teaching because of some research (?) work around. However, it didn’t give me the opportunity to be productive. Ack. Played Tennis in the afternoon and I was feeling sticky allover after. Here are a few things over the past days/weeks:

• Rummage sale to raise funds for the dorm last November 17. Around P1,700 was the total earnings. How I wish I could be like Chinna — ‘shouting’ wittily to attract buyers.
• Watched Bounce, Ice Age (don’t laugh at me. Lol) and Spirited Away. =D

  

• Played a Tennis match (with Bernard) against Neil and Roden.
• Attended the consultation with the Chancellor where the chancellor called our new administration building a “landslide stopper” ’cause offices have already been moved.

Our dorm sportsfest was last November 30. I would love to blog about it in detail but then, some things are better left unsaid, right? The call-time was supposed to be 5:15 but ended up at 6:00. We ‘jogged’ the near covered court and then proceeded with our cheering competition. There are two teams by the way — odd and even-numbered rooms. After breakfast, the larong pinoy started. I was the stubborn (hehe) in charge of the Tumbang Preso and was glad that it went smooth. In Luksong Tinik, I never thought that I could jump pretty high (well, who wouldn’t in this height?). The most haggard game of the day was “Catching the Dragon’s Tail”. Really, it was very exhausting that I felt my stomach was emptied after it. Hmm.. Guess this would be all for now. Hehe.. Lazy me. The music video above’s entitled “Dimelo” by the way. Enrique Iglesias. It’s the Spanish version of “Do You Know? (The Ping Pong Song)”. Check it out.

Trillanes = Coup d’état

What the fuck is going on around here? Christian in his Twitter this afternoon said that he saw a possible coup d’état as he was going home. True enough, there were no other news on TV when I arrived at the dorm from the court. I have no single idea of what it’s all about and why it happened blah, blah, blah. Before, when I was younger (shoot, I’m not yet that old, okay?), I never remembered anything like this happening in the country. I don’t know. Maybe I was just way too passive. Well, actually, I still am up to now. It never comes to me to bother too much when it comes to national issues. But why is it that it doesn’t seem so right now?

When I was having dinner I asked my Political Science student dormmate Zeny on what the commotion was all about. She comments that it would’ve been better if the military exchanged shots immediately with the group-that-I-don’t-know-but-for-certain-is-the-government-side. Prior to that, I received a txt message from a former dormmate who idolizes — and crushes — the legendary (ugh) Trillanes.

“We have enough will-power and fighting spirit to bring this government down. Gloria o Pagbabago?” -Sen. Trillanes- *idol tlg!*

Just what the heck? I absolutely hated the last sentence. For me, she sounded as if Trillanes is a god or something. *sharpshooter aims — BANG!* I don’t know how this will have its end. Media people have been handcuffed and kept in a bus, tear gas being used to halt things, nah, I think Zeny’s idea is right after all. In the end, this may be all a mere Pakitang Tao.
